ANOTHER GLORIOUS VIOTORY. The details of the great battle at Pitts burgh Landing, on the Tennessee River, will be found in our news columns, and will be read with great interest. The con spicuous gallantry of the Union officers, and the obstinate valor of the Union forces have scarcely a parallel in die history of the war, and rendered the engagement one of the most sanguinary that ever occurred on the continent. It may be regarded as the first of a series of battles which are to be decisive of the struggle. The next will be in Eastern Virginia, and will be impa tiently awaited. THANKS. A.

We direct the special attention of our readers to the advertisements of Pittsburgh business houses in to-day's paper. We would like to refer, in detail, to all the. es tablishments favoring us with their cards, but our space, this week, forbids it.— Enough, for the present, to say that they are all first class houses, doing a large business, and offering the best inducements in the market to wholesale and retail buy- CEO AOOIDENT.

I 3 :00140);60:1WI:te)z11,1 The following are some of the measures for the benefit of the negro that have been introduced into Congress : 1. Recognition of the negro Empire of Hayti. 2. Abolishment of negro slavery in the District of Columbia. 3. Prohibiting our army officers from returning fugitive slaves. 4. Establishing a plantation for free negroes in South Carolina, and taxing the Northern people to support it. 5. Proposing to aid the States to abolish negro slavery, by taxing the Northern people to pay for the slaves. 6. To repeal the Fugitive Slave Law. 7. To repeal the law which forbids ne groes from being stage drivers or carrying the U. S. Mail. 3. To prohibit slaveholdera from taking their slaves into Arizonia Territory. There are other measures of a similar kind, but have not yet been fully matured and laid before Congress. By the time that body gives them a full discussion it will have a little leisure to consider the interests of white men. No wonder peti tions are being sent into Congress, even from New England, to let the negro ques tion alone. THE ABOLITIONISTS AND THE PRESIDENT. John Hickman, of Perna„ one of the ul tra radical Republican members of Con gress, lately made a furious attack in the House upon President Lincoln's Emanci pation by Compensation Message. Re says: " I speak frankly upon this point be cause Ido not hang upon power. lam open to denounce anything objectionable in this Administration, as anything in the last or that may occur in the future Ad ministrations. In no respect is the mess age or the resolution manly or open. On the contrary, it is covert and insidious.— It is not becoming the position of the Pres idont of the United States.

Prepostetous 1 • • TRIITH IN A FEW WORDS, It is estimated, says the York Ga zette, that from Three Hundred and Fifty to Four Hundred Millions of Dollars would be required to purchase the Slaves of the Border States, allowing the small sum of $3OO apiece. This large amount the Republican party are in favor of ma king the honest tax-payers of the country pay in, heavy taxes. The negroes once bought, the expense and trouble will be just begun. They must be clothed and kept from starvation afterwards. This will require more than the amount requir ed for their purchase. This is indeed a pretty Republican scheme, at once econom_ teal, just and pains - tic(?) Is such a party worthy of the confidence of the people? PASSED THE SENATE. The bill for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, passed the Sen ate on Thursday, by a vote of 29 yeas to 14 nays. An amendment, offered by Mr. Doo little, (Rep.) of Wisconsin, appropriating $lOO,OOO to aid the voluntary emigration of the negroes liberated by the bill, to Hayti or Liberia, was adopted—yeas 27,- nays 10.

World, a Republican paper, protests against the attempts of the Sum ner-Gree]y school of politicians to resusci tate the Republican party °•for the pur pose of erasing from the national flag as many stars as it originally contained," and makes the following statement, which might be considered prophecy, if it was not the expression of truth already quite patent: "As soon as the war draws visibly to a close, the Democratic party will, in any event, spring up again in full vigor. Hea vy taxation, the corrupt squandering of the public money brought to light by Congres sional committees of investigation, and the questionable stretches of power to which the Executive authority has resort ed, will be charged home upon the Repub lican party, which was alone responsible for the administration. TRAITORS IN THE CAPITOL. The Republican Senators of our State debased themselves, and insulted their con stituents when, last week, they granted the use of that Chamber to the notorious traitor and disunionist, Wendell Phillips. When the leaders of the party in this State grant such privileges to such a man, is not the inference irresistible that they, at least, are Abolitionists of the John Brown,Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips school, and are endeavoring to lead their constituents up to the same point. We do not know what this distinguished disunionist feasted the willing ears of the Senators at Harris burg upon, but suppose his speech was of the same character as the one delivered a few days since at Washington, which occu pied several columns of the New York Tri bune, of the 18th inst., from which we ex tract the following : "Unless within twelve months or twenty ty four, Maryland is a free State, Deleware and half of Virginia, would to God that that building, (pointing to the Capitol,) with this city of Washington had been shelled to ashes last July." Speaking of the Constitution, he said : "Now I love it, though my friend (Dr. "Pierpont,) who sits beside me, has heard "me curse it a hundred times, and I shall "again if it does not mean justice. Piave "labored nineteen years to take .nineteen Stales "out of this Union, and if I have spent any "nineteen years to the satisfaction of my Pu "ritan conscience, it was those nineteen years." Referring to Wm. Lloyd Garrison, a life long disunionist, and Abolition editor, who has kept for years, at the head of his pa per, the infamous motto, "The Constitution is an agreement with death, and a coven ant with hell," he spoke of him as "a "'man who had done more, in the Provi "dence of God, to shape the fate of this "generation than any other one," and that "he (PHILLIPS,) was• proud to sit at his (thasisoN's) feet:" The brave McClellan was sneered at as a "Quaker General," who had "never fired a cannon," We doubt not that our .Abo lition Senator was hugely tickled to find his Abolition harangue so ably seconded by this vile curses of the Constitution ; it so well accorded too, with his expressed views of that instrument in his political sermons and stump speeches in 1856. When such foul slanderers of our forefath ers—such revilers of tbe Constitution form ed by them are graciously allowed to vent their treason in the Senate Chamber of our State Capitol, it is high time that the peo ple begin to look about them, to inform themselves of the principles and objects of that party with whom the Constitution is nothing, the negro everything.—Greens burg Democrat.

President Lincoln's scheme for "the gradual abolishment of slavery," if adop ted by Congress and the border slave States, would add about two hundred millions of dol lars to our already over-burdened treasury and over-taxed people. The slaves in Del aware, Maryland, West Virginia, Ken tucky and Missouri, according to the cen sus of 1860, amount to 441,295. At an av erage of $5OO each they would cost a sum exceeding two hundred millions. And then if it is good to abolish slavery in these States in this manner, it is equally good to abolish it in the other States.

Editors Messenger: The Legisla ture is about drawing to a close. Whether its labors are of chatacter as to be commended to the kind consideration of the people, the future alone can tell. A number of important measures have been passed, and are now laws, and their merits or demerits must be judged by those who are to come after us. I have endeavored, as far as my feeble abilities would permit, to discharge my duty not only to the peo ple of Greene county, but to those of the whole State. limy action here meets with the approbation of my constituents I am content. If it does not, I still have the consciousness of being governed by honest motives, and a regard for what is due to the people. The committee to investigate the means used for the passage of the bill commuting the tonnage tax upon the Pennsylvania Rail Road, is still in operation, and going on with the examination of witnesses. I understand that the examination will dis close some astounding facts, showing the corruption which has been used in the pas sage of bills. This committee have been indefatigable in their labors, and worked almost night and day. It is well known that these committees are sometimes got up for the express purpose of making money, but it has not been so in this case. Every member of it has pursued a course which will, when the report is made, show that it has not been a white-washing con cern, but on the contrary, a disposition to get all the facts and exhibit them to the people. The committee to investigate the banks are also pursuing their examinations of witnesses, though I believe no fraud has as yet been shown in regard to the passage of the bank bill. What developments they will be able to make, I cannot at present say. Some suppose that the Governor will be compelled to call an extra session of the Legislature. This is predicted on the ground•that it will be necessary in order to arrange and fix the tax bill for the State. If our portion of the indebtedness of the United States is to be assumed by the State then it will be necessary to have an extra session, in order that uniformity in the imposition of taxes may be had. The farm ing interests are now heavily taxed, and it is time some other interests would pay their share of the public burdens. If we have equality in our mode of taxation, the bur den will not be cast upon one class of the community, but be distributed equally. The Legislature would now do something with this subject, hut it is impossible to do so, because Congress has not yet passed the tax bill for the United States, and un til they do, it would be folly to attempt to pass any bill in the Legislature of this State, for we know not what per cent of tax, and on what objects Congress may impose. In this view, an extra session may be demanded by public necessity, and for the protection of the people. The principal portion of legislation now is local. All th 3 Abolitionists in the Sen ate and House, having expended them selves on the slavery question, we are now hard at work attending to the public in terests and we are now holding from two to three sessions each day, Saturdays and Sundays excepted. So far as local bills relating to the county of Greene is con cerned, all is finished up. The Act to fix and regulate the compensation to be al lowed to Sheriffs of Greene county for conveying convicts to the Penitentiaries has passed both houses of the Legislature, which provides as follows : that the com pensation hereafter to be paid to the Sheriffs of Greene county for conveying prisoners sentenced by the Courts to the Penitentiaries of this Commonwealth, shall be as follows, to wit:- three dollars per day for each day actually employed in such removal ; three cents per mile for each mile, circular, traveled and such necessary expenses as may be actually in curred in such removal; a statement or exhibit of the items of such expense to be made out and verified by affidavit and approved by the Court. Also, an Act changing the time of holding the Town ship elections in Greene county from the third to thes.second Friday of March here after. P. D. Yorktown, Va., Besieged by Nealellan's Axmy. WAsHiNaToN, April 7.—The following is the summary of the intelligence received by the War Department up to ten o'clock Monday: The first operations at Yorktown and Fortress Monroe, yesterday, the enemy's works were carefully examined by Gen. McClellan, and were found to be very strong, and the approaches difficult. The enemy were in force, and the water bat terie York and Gloucester are said to • • . increased. There was sharp he right, but no harm done. Our forces were receiving supplies from Ship ping Point, repairing roads and getting up large trains. It seemed plain that mortars and siege trains must be used before as saulting. Another dispatch,• received at 10:30 A. 11., states that Yorktown will fall, but not without a siege of two or three days.— Some of the outer works were taken. A dispatch from General Wool states that Magruder had thirty thousand men at Yorktown. Another dispatch to the Seerltry of War states that a new rebel camp was discovered on the beach at the Rip Raps, and was shelled out by Colonel Holliday. A rebel tug was seen making a recon noissance off Sewall's Point in the after noon of Sunday. Several regiments of the enemy's In fantry were seen from the Rip Raps during the day. On Sunday afternoon Shipping Point had been taken, our gunboats having shelled out the water batteries. There was considerable delay caused in crossing Deep creek at Warwick Court House, and resistance was made by the rebe4, during which several casualties occurred on our side. All the fortified places of importance before Yorktown had been taken. At every point the greatest enthusiajn prevailed among the troops. A fuller detail is given in the following dispatch: To Hon, Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War: BEFORE YORKTOWN, Saturday evening.—Tbat portion of the army of the Potomac, recently concentrated at Old Pont, advanced yesterday morning in the direction of Yorktown, twenty-four miles distant. The right was assigned to Gen. IVlorrell's brigade of General Porter's Di vision, two companies of the Third Penn sylvania cavalry, and a portion of Berdan's division of sharp shooters, acting as skir mishers. Nothing of interest took place until their arrival at Big Bethel, twelve miles distant, where they met the outer picket of the rebels. The troops were delayed there two hours in reconstructing a bridge, which had been destroyed by the rebels, who retreated before the advance of our skirmishers to Howard Creek, where they had some abandoned earthworks.— Four shots were fired here by the rebels from two field pieces, which were soon si lenced by the 4th Rhode Island battery, when the rebels beat a hasty retreat, ta king their pieces with them. The main body of the army here rested for the night, while General Morrill's bri gade advanced three miles to Cuckleville and six miles from Yorktown, an there encamped. By seven o'clock Saturday morning, the column was again in motion, and at ten o'clock was in front of the enemy's works at Yorktown. The first shot fired was by the rebels, the shell passing over the heads of Gen. Porter and staff, without explo ding. The batteries of Griffin, 3d and 4th Rhode Island and the 6th Massachusetts, were now placed in position, replying to every shot sent by the rebels. The can nonading continued with but slight inter mission until dark. About four hundred shots were fired by both parties during the day. The position of the rebels is a strong one. From present indications, their for tifications extending some two miles in length, and mounting heavy guns. The ground in front of their works is low and swampy, making it utterly impassi— ble. THE ADVANCE On Friday morning, about daylight, the grand army struck tents, and commenced the march "onward to Richmond." Gen. Heintzelman's corps de armee moved up through Great Bethel—the direct route to Yorktown. After leaving the camp, some miles beyond Hampton, the advance struck across New Market Bridge, along a most beautiful and romantic road, the birds singing sweetly through the woods. It seemed as though the grand army was a grand pageant, celebrating some gala day. A company of Berdan's Sharpshooters took the advance, with the 4th Michigan and the Fourteenth New York, and the 3d Pennsylvania Cavalry in the extreme advance. About twelve miles from Yorktown the booming of a gun was heard. It was now half past one o'clock. The men were wearied, yet anxious to proceed. The dis charges of heavy rifled pieces became nu— merous. The enemy seemed to respond briskly with a very heavy piece, as the sound of the discharge seemed sullen and heavy. THE ENEMY RETREAT We soon perceived Allen's Fifth Mas— sachusetts Battery banging away at every formidable earthwork. A short time pie vious to this, the Third Pennsylvania cavalry drove in the rebel pickets. Grif— fins battery was also unlimbered in range. The Fourteenth New York, Companies B and -A of Berdan'oi Sharpihootern, were advancing toward the batteries: There b e i ng no wo w respapait from the enemy, after thA tiatimit theals, the eol— Ilalaleall. llllllll44 rioting rqpi-vide Wirt 11•,Irests After getting to Ike top of the hill, bat— I °WM VOtnirr.

The Second and Eighth Mississippi oc— cupied the above fortifications, and called the place Camp Misery. Most of the res— idents that remained had their houses fill— ed with children. They claimed them as their own, but it was evident that they be— longed to the secessionists, who had gone to fight in the rebel cause. Gen. Heintzelman and Gen. Porter ar— riving, made a house, in the centre of these fortifications the headquarters of this corps. During the evening, several families came out of the woods with white flags flying, wanting to get to their resi— dences, which they bad escaped from dur ing the day through fear. They wefe ter ribly frightened, claiming that gentlemen would not insult them, their only fear be— ing from stragglers. The Union army bivouacked in the rebel camp "misery," preparatory to an early start The fight was carried on almost entirely with artillery, with the exception of Ber— dan's Sharpshooters. Weeden's Battery opened first, followed by Martin's on the left. Soon Griffin's Third Rhode Island, and Fifth Massachusetts, were in position, and the battle commenced in earnest, The discharges were rapid on the Union side, answered at intervals by the enemy. The first man struck was J. Reynolds, of the Rhode Island Battery. He was struck with a piece of shell. Two of Col. Sam Black's men were next hit by a round shot—a thirty-two—tear— ing the knapsack off one man. One was wounded slightly, while the other was mortally wounded. The sharpshooters, with their telescopic rifles, kept the enemy away from theirguns. They crept within a half mile of the rebels. 'For one hour they did not reply, our sharp— shooters popping them off as soon as they attempted to load. Three of Berdan's Sharpshooters were at this time wounded, and one killed—a man from New Hampshire. He was shot through the forehead, by a musket ball.— Lieut Colonel Ripley killed the man who shot him, thus avenging his death. During the day the rebels fired a small piece of ordnance, ofone inch bore, rifled, at the Berdan's. After Griffin's Battery was brought into action, it silenced three guns of the reb3ls. The artillerists acted nobly during the whole engagement. They took their posi— tion and maintained it until ordered to ME Heavy firing closed with the day ; but during the night the pickets could be heard banging away, far in the advance. Prof. Lowe, at the close of the day, sent hisbal— loon up, for the purpose of reconnoissance. Denial.--Dr. S. S.
